Just Cori (Ambitious Girl Sequel)

Chapter 16: Forevers

We were at Jacob and Toni's house warming party everyone was gathered around looking through their nice three story house dropping off gifts. I wasn’t in the best mood I was very quiet. I was still kind of upset from our argument last night even though we made up as usual. That doesn’t take back the things that were said. I sat on the couch with my chin rested on my hand. Chres was in the kitchen talking to Jacob and his boys. Lisa and Toni made their way over to me.

“Honey you haven’t talked all day what's wrong”? Toni asked sitting next to me.

“It’s nothing really plus I wouldn’t want to burden you with all of my questions today is your lucky day” I said. She rolled her eyes looking at me “Now girl how long have we been friends I don’t care what the occasion is you talk to your girls” she said only making me start to cry.

“Oh honey don’t cry please tell us what's wrong”? Lisa asked.

“Come on we'll go upstairs in private to talk” Toni insisted grabbing my hand. I had my hands on my face and I could see Chres staring from afar I hated to make a scene but my emotions were too overwhelming. When we went upstairs, She locked the door and I sat on her chair.

“I don’t even know why I'm crying honestly” I said wiping my tears. “We know you girl just spit it “Lisa said.

“Okay I'm just feeling overwhelmed and frustrated , I'm tired of being sick all the time this disease is tearing me apart I am tired and then Chres we got in a big argument the other day I broke his phone cuz I was mad at his flirtatious ways and then he basically called me fat. I'm gaining weight and I feel funny on top of that I just feel like this relationship is going no where I just want him to hurry up and propose but I feel like he's stalling on purpose maybe he doesn’t love me as much as I think he does” I said blowing my nose.

“Aww honey you know damn well Chres loves you with all his heart he talks about you 24/ 7 when you aren’t around, he wants to marry you maybe he's just waiting for the perfect time”Lisa said

“But the perfect time is taking forever our anniversary was yesterday and he didn’t purpose I was thinking he was going to even after the argument we made up and thought he was going to pop the question that just shows that he's comfortable with me just being his girlfriend and I want more I just want more when will my time come” I cried. Toni began rubbing my back “All I have to say is you wait for another year and if he doesn't propose you have to leave .I don’t want anyone wasting your time” she sighed.

“Like I said before when the time Is right and just because he doesn’t propose right now shouldn’t make you feel insecure or anything you have wife attributes and he knows that it's better to take your time then to rush good things come to those who wait remember honey” Lisa said

“I guess you guys are right” I said wiping my tears. “And you know Chresanto doesn’t know what to say out of his mouth sometimes, you know guys are dumb there has been plenty of times when Terrence called my fat indirectly but he didn’t mean it , he'll learn “Lisa explained making me chuckle a little.

“You're right he doesn’t know what to say that’s why he always gets in trouble” I laughed.

“Yeah but besides that how was your anniversary” Toni asked. I rolled my eyes “Despite the argument it was okay we just went out to eat and then after that you know” I said

“Was it good”? Lisa laughed. “Uhhh yeah, it's just like there's more than just arguing and having sex after at least if we were married I would feel better about it I don’t know” I sighed.

Later that Evening

I felt a little bit better talking to my girls but I still stayed to myself there was too much on mind. Chres sat besides me poking my cheeks. “Stop” I said. “What's wrong why are you so quiet today you barely talked to me all day, if your still upset about last night I'm sorry” he said holding my hand. “It's nothing really just go finish hanging with your boys” I said pushing him away. He sadly walked away. I sighed I saw Jacob get up.
